#Prince #PurpleRain #LiveAtPaisleyPark - Hudba
This song hit different now. I'll never listen to this song the same way again. My husband was hospitalized with Covid when he slipped into a coma and his condition seemed to worsen by the hour. I was on the phone with the doctor and I asked, " Doctor...tell me the truth...will my husband make it out of this?" She said," Honestly, he'll be lucky if he makes it through the night. He was already diabetic and had congestive heart failure. I was in the middle of doing some housework and I literally almost fainted when she said that. I played Purple Rain while I attempted to finish my cleaning. Then suddenly a wave rushed over me, and I burst into tears. I knew he was gone. He coded 3 times that night, and on the 4th heart attack, he couldn't be resuscitated. He died at 2 am, on August 28th, 24 days after our anniversary. My world was shattered and my heart was broken into pieces. He died in 2020, it's been 2 years....and I'm still struggling with the grief, loss, and heartache. I miss him every day, hour, and minute. I stay strong for our 5 daughters, but some days the pain is unbearable and I break down in the quiet stillness of the night when I'm alone in my bed. So this song holds a special place in my heart. It was the moment I knew he was no longer with us and I had to let go. I miss him so much and I'm still trying to figure out how to adjust to life without him. He'll always be the love of my life. I appreciate the life and love we shared, and I look forward to seeing my baby in the purple rain. Thank you Prince, for creating this amazing love ballad that became a beautiful but bittersweet memory and soundtrack to the end of my husband's life. I'll see you both standing underneath that purple rain when I get to Heaven💔😙
I’m so sorry Boss Lady. Your husband would want to see you happy so try and celebrate rather than mourn, as much as you can, though I do understand it’s so hard. Many blessings! 🕊☔️
Keep on rocking boss lady, Sorry for your loss. You inspire me to love and lose rather to not love at all.
Sorry to hear you couldn’t be there
It is bittersweet and beautiful
''As a child, I remember when Elvis died. My mother cried and cried, but I did not understand. When I was a bit older, John Lennon died and my older sister cried and cried, but I did not understand. Then Prince died... and I understood''.
As a true prince fan from his beginning until his very end. I honestly can even Begin to think of any other true artist that was ever on princes level...musically...vocally ...and his stage shows are mind blowing ...i had the priviledge of seeing him live 3 times and never to me will be another as great!!! Rip PRINCE
I was crying too.
Fernando Silva I feel You! Prince was the GOAT!!!!!!!
Prince was great
Very touching tribute - you post, here. To true. Bless you.
2024 and still here for prince, prince always acknowledged God 🙏🏻
these people don't know how lucky they were to see him live, I was born in 2002 and only recently started to appreciate Prince. Rest in eternal peace Prince.
I was born in 76 and have never seen him in the flesh 😢😢
wow man@@Octocoupler
I'm 80s child. Thank God.
I watched this and literally grieved his death and the death of good music the realization I'll never see him live crushed my heart I literally fell into the floor holding my heart and crying harder than ever. I just love this and Prince so much. He was special.
2002 wow, I was born in 1980 and never got to see him. Not sure who these people are that you speak of. Not everyone had money back then we had to work for everything we wanted we busted our asses!
I will never forget, my Dad ordered this concert on pay per view for me, in 1999. It's all I wanted and I got it. I sat and watched and enjoyed it alone. I was 14. Best New Years Eve ever.
Sounds like a pretty swell guy 🙂
@@kamaree1 yes indeedy!
@@one1511 Good on ya'
I covered this song !

dam lucky he sadly died when I was 14 got into him a bit later on however
This is what a musical artist is
You say it!👍
He is unique like no one
this is how I sing when i get drunk af...lol
@@coupcup2016 🤣🤣🤣
@@coupcup2016
And it only sounds like that to you because you're drunk When you're singing it
haha🤣
Most people don't understand the difficulty of this song. It's written in Bb Major, but it's crying and begging like a minor scale. Incredibly hard to do. One of the best songs ever written.
Rest in heaven Prince.
Not to mention some of the chords in it are quite hard to play
Amin!!!R.I.P PRINCE!!
Not sure that's where he is.
Thats that suspended 2nd doing that
Interesting can u explain more
"There is no other king than Jesus Christ" hearing those words from Prince gives me shivers man. May God bless his soul.
Amen
Err.. you need a pop star to tell you. I give up with humanity.
@@JohnVeitch-bx4qg stfu he was the greatest multi instrumentalist of the 20th century go learn some music history lil bro
@@JohnVeitch-bx4qgJohn.. be quiet
Amém
So many people love prince for his vocals. But the guy was a legend of the guitar, drums, keyboard, piano and anything that made noise. But his guitar skills were the most underrated. He could shred the guitar obviously if you’re watching this you probably know these things.
Completely right.
Young, there was the fight jackson against prince.
The both were.speacials.
But prince was a f... great musician.
No they Love Prince bc he’s an awesome musician who taught himself to play everything. His singing is the icing
@@doingitinleopard8436 you said no then repeated what I said slightly differently worded. 😂. It’s cool. I think we can agree he was an incredible musician with a great voice.
PRINCE WAS A UNIQUE PERSON
WITH A NATURAL TALENT FOR
MUSIC AND COMPOSITION OF
SONGS WHICH ARE TIMELESS FOR ENTERTAINMENT. HE WAS
TOO .YOUNG TO LEAVE THIS
WORLD. HE WAS A CLASS ACT
WITH STYLE AND CHARISMA!
IRMA .VAN EYSSEN.
Was a master
“Time.
Time is a trick,
How many birthdays did you have?
One
You had one day of birth
You continue to count birthdays,
Your mind gives up, and your body deteriorates.
This is the trick of time
Man was never supposed to die
We were given everlasting life
By the creator,
The father of Jesus Christ
There is no other king,
There is no other king,
Only Jesus Christ.
Time is a trick
1999, huh, I don’t think so.
We could be in the third millennium perhaps
Might be 1492, who knows?
I don’t wanna see you in the Purple Rain,
If you wanna sing with me, that’s alright”
- Prince, 1999
tava procurando isso obrigado!
Damn, I miss Prince!
💜😪
That was amazing.
As much as I loved Prince when he was alive, I realize now I didn't appreciate him enough.
Angela Calligan Tucker You and me both :(
renragged
I never really appreciated who he was until a year or two ago, mainly down to my age, i didn’t get to grow up with his music, but as soon as i heard him for the first time i admired him as an artist and a person! Prince was truly one of a kind
I was born in 1962. I am soooo glad and greatful to saw Prince 5 times (the best musician at all), Genesis+Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Supertramp, Madonna, Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode etc. live at stage. I will never forget these moments
🎉🎉🎉
One of the few to mention God and Jesus to the people he I hope you people what he has has said amen
Amen
2021.. ANYONE ELSE STILL ENJOYING PRINCE ?🕺🎸❤

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes
Yes absolutely yes
@Taula Sydney YES & FOREVER ❤🎼
how can he play this song over and over again and blow your mind in a different way every time? just astonishing talent
Because when you're in the matrix and a song is in the right vibration. You hear him say..Jesus Christ. Not allowed. He's alive. Playing us the correct vibration all along. This man went under cover door to door as a jabovah witness ok. He plays Kamala. He's alive. Very well alive. The genius doesn't die. Come on now
@@garywatson2885 Prove it !!!
Yep..every time💜
@@garywatson2885wtf are you talking about puff puff. He’s dead and he’s certainly not Kamela. Don’t be naive and lay off the drugs. It’ll do your mind good
I was there for this performance, tears streaming down my face. Another night waiting outside of Paisley Park in the snow, hoping for a chance to get in at some point. We had no idea this was being filmed this night. Pure luck/fate, one of the best nights of my life….
My favorite Era for Prince. For a moment, he seemed so at peace, so in love, so content and happy.
Lucky lucky lucky
Wow
How incredible for you to be part of history…. 🎉
Wow . Amazing 😮
That guitar style and song will never be owned by anyone but this man ❤
I luv your music 🎶 alot too
Prince's "Purple Rain" is one of his best soulful rock ballads in music. It's dark, electric and hopeful. 🎶
Well spoken - so true - Epic 👍💜🎸
it's about the end of the world, i don't know how that is hopeful
@@jorddalord5400 because it's about getting through the "end" to the point where you meet God and He gives everlasting life - that's pretty hopeful.
JordDaLord 5 But it is hopeful , if you’re ready to meet our Heavenly Father you’ll see ! Then the World will be more than awesome! I can’t describe in words how wonderful it will be !!!
Succinct and graceful. "Dark, electric and hopeful". A stunningly beautiful way to describe this anthem.
2022… Anyone else still listening this amazing music ?
“Time is a trip”
Yes. Never gets old to me.
Great músic!!! Love it!!
I’m here 13 April 2022….. time 23:34
@@thulaniwana7104 yep still listening.
Yes
Very emotional. I love how he praises Jesus Christ during the intro. Prince had so much talent and he always gave credit to God. I can imagine he graces heaven now.
I had no idea prince was big on Jesus. Since when?
@@lukecapetown1930 since forever. he listens to gospel music and such. "The Cross" is an obvious example of its influence on him, and if you look into songs like "Let's Go Crazy" or "Purple Rain" deeper you'll find some grander themes in his lyrics.
@@lukecapetown1930
Yeah, the guy grew up with a Southern Baptist mother and a Seventh Day Adventist father. He converted to Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2001 or so.
It's kinda wack praising some religion. We were there for the music, stop calling some religious figur a king.
@@sighheinrich You need to be respectful of other people and their beliefs
So glad to hear Prince give honor to Jesus Christ! Amen! Glad to know Prince is now in heaven.
IF PRINCE REMAINED A JEHOVAS WITNESS WHEN HE DIED THEN HE IS NOT IN HEAVEN. HIS RELIGION DOESNT BELIEVE YESHUA-JESUS IS PART OF THE TRINITY, WHICH IS BLASPHEMY.
THEY ALSO BELIEVE WHEN YOU DIE YOUR SOUL DIES AS WELL. THIS IS ANOTHER LIE FROM SATAN THE BIBLE AND THE TORAH MAKE IT CLEAR THE SOUL IS ETERNAL IT DOES NOT DIE, THE SOUL WILL LIVE FOREVER EITHER IN PARADISE OR HELL..
Prince didn't believe in immediate transportation to heaven,but rather a Resurrection when Christ comes. I appreciate his Faith in Jesus! I appreciate a lot about him. He was admirable in many ways.
@@NADI-MICAH777we don’t use caps lock for our entire statement. Makes you less credible.
@@AtomizedSound YOU might not BUT I DO. DONT MATTER HOW I TYPE IT, THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH.
Realistically, his faith is what killed him lmao
I always felt he knew something we didn't...vibrated at a higher frequency, floated on a higher plane, and saw behind the veil. Thank you for leaving us the gift of your music.
For sure
Please explain, sorry i dont get it.
@@trickg1274 She's saying he was very spiritual. He talked about things like time being an illusion and was able to "see" outside of our physical reality.

Amen
There will never be another Prince! 🧡 💜 🧡
Never ever!
NEVER!!!

Facts
Hi....there is One and only one ...I miss him...
Greatest guitarist ever
Maybe not best guitar player ever but he is in my top 100 of all times.
He was too busy playing 10 other instruments to focus solely on guitar.
Don't get me wrong, he's very good.
This is one of the best songs ever produced. It is composed in Bb major, the chords progression is absurdly complex and beautiful, through time the melody enters your mind and soul. Only an angel could produce something like that, after all, but it was Prince. Maybe he was an angel too. Rest in heaven, legend.
He would say it came through him but not from him.
Not complex but beautiful. The arrangement sounds harder than it is once you dig in to learn it
@@AtomizedSound I disagree. He is often playing with extended chords. Making Bb major into Bbsus2 or Bbsus4. I’d say he is mystically adding suspensions and sevenths. It’s unpredictable.
I think the fact it’s easy to improvise for a guitar player doesn’t mean it’s simple. I like to play this song, but I can’t play the same way he does. It’s too much :))
@@Tsypras Bbadd9 or such chords aren't difficult. It's how he pieces them together what makes it so impressive, but every half decent musician knows how to play these chords
Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened.

What a qoute ❤

Prince - his guitar was an extension and expression of his soul
A very underrated guitarist.
.... Yes, seems he pushed every Spiritual emotion both into & out
of that guitar!
I always loved him & what he was able to share! And I recently saw him in an old Video, express his wish that humans would " leave fear
& walked forward " , that's what he did long years ago.
This video is a reminder of how
“ right “ his spiritual leanings &
philosophies were! Now, don’t
ask to debate me on the philosophy
of time.
I’m ALWAYS still learning; when learning is over, what keeps us
here, engaged in day to day life?
So often people disappoint; likely
due to unreal expectation... But that’s a book I’ve not cracked. Um, yeah I tried to get cliff notes~ only to
learn none exist!...
back to topic at hand, I’m sure Prince holds a special spot in the Heavenly Choir. I can’t wait to hear him in concert again! teKie
@LUCY ELI ZABETH "Guitarist' penises matter"
He was raised on Jimmy Hendrix who played in James Brown Band . Probably knew him .
A 13 year old me discovered his music and fell in love with it and him. A 54 old year me still loves him and his music. This version of Purple Rain always takes me to new level of emotion. Rest in love my music angel. For God made a musical recipe in Prince that lingers in my heart.💜💜💜💜💜
Prince was an angel on earth. He brought many of us to the “Purple Rain”.
did he pays your bills?
@@KillYourIdols81 is everything okay?
@@skywalker6763 lol...very fine, 10x...i mean....tired of comment he was an angel, he is in heaven watchin us...gone too soon..
@@KillYourIdols81your name implies other wise but regardless of that who cares what people felt for him? If they resonate with him being an angel or what it then let them. You have no say in the matter other than to keep on moving
He made the color Purple live forever 💜
I miss this man immensely. Just knowing that he doesn’t exist on this earth anymore breaks my heart.
Help
I agree fully. The world was robbed of the greatest showman that ever existed!!!
Acts 24:15 . . .
He is sleeping . . . (John 11:11).
@@trevor69er59 The first time I heard this version I knew I would see him again in glory. We may not care who we was here, as we will be with the Lord of all creation, but for now, it comforts me knowing that Prince is with the Almighty right now.
@Love one Another let's go crazy
"Time is a trick". Man I felt this in my soul. He was basically saying all we "know" is lies while professing Jesus Christ as the savior. God bless us all on our journeys through this thing called "LIFE".
Friend you certainly got it right 🙏😇
Almost the end of 2023. So many great experiences and memories shared here on this comment page. Prince is definitely one of the GOATs. The genius and talent this guy possessed was one of the greatest gifts GOD gave us to witness. Happy Holidays to those out there and Merry Christmas.
The fact that he mentioned Jesus as the King was awesome! It gives me hope that he was saved! Awesome guitarist and performer!
Dude was crazy about that shit. Listen to Kevin Smith about it.

Unbelievable, Greatest PERFOMER and MUSICIAN! LOVE 💜 🕊️
This guy was a true musical genius. Word is used willynilly these days but this guy was a true talent.
I certainly agree I bought the LP as a young girl i could not get over this amazing song and artist very special 👌😇
Crying thinking of my parents ...they're both died many years ago.
Such a pain but i wish them to reunite with the Lord..Rip.Prince, i am also lucky that I could see your performances twice in my life.💜
This man snatches my soul out of my body then puts it back better than he found it ❤️❤️❤️
That is exactly what good music is meant to do, it is an experience of the body and soul in union 👍♥️
To the people who were present when this was recorded, you witnessed arguably one of the greatest live performances of all time. What an absolute privilege to have been there.
I'm jealous of those who were able to see this man in concert, a true icon and Piper of this nations entertainment world. He didn't want nothing from no one but to share his music and guitar skills, for you to love him at his best in life. To remember him in death as his music continues to Rock this nations world! RIP Prince.... You will be greatly missed and honored..... Most definitely respected 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Weather it was 1st Avenue or Paisley Park….or anything in between….it was always a religious experience. Mr. Nelson, you are missed….TERRIBLY
Well the original version of the song was also a live concert done in one take.
yes.. this might be the best last 3.5 min of any song to ever be recorded live... this last 3.5 min.. the melody.. the ability to play at that level... the ability to to play so well together same time.. and the level of emotion coming out of those last 3.5 min especially when he bring back the high pitch singing.. it is very much up there.. might be the best ever live performance ending... the melody and performance... 100% top 3 ending of a song ever and arguably #1
Legend, who will never be forgotten 👍👍👍
Prince is by far one of a kind musician.

I can definitely tell Prince was a very godly man. He's up there playing that guitar and singing purple rain for God and Jesus. He was an amazing person and singer he is definitely missed and gone from us way to soon. Prayers and comfort to his family.
Can't believe it's already been 5 years. Still feels like yesterday, hearing you went to dance in that rain
Still breaks my heart 💜 it snowed that morning in April here and made me think of him 🥺 but playing his music just fills my heart ♥️ ♥️♥️♥️
He died 4 days before I had my 5 yr old daughter 😢😢
I wish so much i would... i should have seen him live before he passed.... what a sad goodbye... very sad. Two very sad goodbyes in the last 5 years where Prince and Eddie Van Halen. Both hurt deep inside. Two geniuses who made music that touched deep so many lives and so many moments for so many people.

Prince was a genius and his vocals are off the scales I'm so glad I got to see him in concert with my brother at Murray field stadium and from the start he was brilliant and he always highlights his musicians as well I loved the song paisley park as well as this one and nothing compares 2 you very emotional rip prince pure legend xxxx
Prince never did a bad version of this song. It always gives me chills.

The oldest one that actually has the worst recording is the best . The solo is just so on point like god himself were playing it 😯
Still the most underrated guitarist ever. And yet he wasn’t underrated.

He was better than Hendricks, Page, Clapton, and many others combined! We miss you, Prince! 💜
Very very true.. Prince was nasty on the guitar .
@@Gambit22003
Combined?? Wow! One heck of a compliment!! Love Prince!!💜
@@Gambit22003 Err...no. I’m a huge fan of his music, have been since Controversy. But truthfully, bending notes while running blues scales that any decent guitarist player can play in their sleep to relatively simplistic chord patterns doesn’t make you an extraordinary guitarist. He was talented, innovative, and a great entertainer, but not some musical deity/guitar God.
June 25, 2023, it’s been 39 years since this song was released, I’m still listening to this masterpiece.
Prince the greatest artist that ever lived!!!
🤴 is very cute guy
Can't get enough of this performance. I spent 8 hours at night just listening to different performances of prince on this song from 10pm to 6am
Hope you enjoyed it his voice is different in different performances always great though I just came and started tonight after yrs pf not watching or listening him always loved this song though purple rain 💜 😄
That's me tonight I had no idea
Me too. Grew up in the 70s and 80s. The last 2weeks I've been watching and reminiscing all his songs through CZcams. ❤️
All the facts
czcams.com/video/luLsjy06UCU/video.html
My fave performance of this song is his Tokyo concert
I’ll never forget the day I saw on the news that Prince was gone. In the following days, the newscasters on my local station all wore purple, the Eiffel Tower was bathed in purple light as was the Golden Gate Bridge . Around the world purple was ever present. The proof that he was truly going to be missed but never forgotten. 2016 was a year that we lost so many talented musicians, we finally understood what it sounds like “when doves cry”. Rest In Peace Prince and all those that crossed over with you.
Many amazing things about Prince but one of them that doesnt get mentioned is how amazing it was that a skinny little kid from Minnesota can come outta nowhere and make the color Purple forever associated with him, snatching that color away from royals everywhere. Now when people hear the word purple far more will instantly think of Prince and not the Queen or King of this or that country.Show me anyone else who was able to pull that off in just one far too short lifetime?
Yes and a rainbow appeared over Paisley that same day. 💜
Paradise awaits...❤️
Who knew all along purple rain was a worship song
@DaFilmakerDrew Since the day I first heard it in the 80s. I was a recently new Christian. I knew it was about seeing a love during Jesus' REIGN. That was roughly about 40 years ago. Then a few months ago I heard this version. I think this one was the original version & that it likely was titled Purple Reign but the music label and their executives that he was signed with, made him change the title and some lines. Thankfully Prince got away from them and their contracts. This song has a special meaning for me and the young youth minister who lead me to the Lord back then. We always played this song when we would go out. We became engaged, then married, then divorced very young. However, we will likely always care about each other and we know that we will one day see each other in that Purple Rain (Reign)!
This song helped me in my worst period in life.. this intro hits different 💛.. Prince was the real one.. always crying when this song playin
It was a great day to see him give praise to the true King. He had his demons as do all men but in the end he laid it in Christs hands in acceptence and full trust.
I have tears running down my face....there will never be another..
bei mir ebenso..........
Every damn time.
I'm trying to tell you! It wasn't just the words. It was the music too! It makes my soul weep!
truly
Sure.
Man... out of his live renditions of this song, this would be the best. The intro, solo, everything... super immaculate!
There's no other King than Jesus Christ,hearing this words from Prince,
My God Bless His Soul,
RIP my dear friend you will be always remember George,10 April 2024.😢
Amen
Everytime I hear the first second of Purple Rain whether album or live version... chills literally run through my body. And once Prince play’s his famous guitar solo... goosebumps begin to show and the feel of tears begin to fill my eyes. Prince, among so many late great legends no matter what they do whether it’s music, sports, acting.... have left a unbelievable mark in many of our lives. Seems like they’re still here with us, but it just shows how strong they spirit is. Rest in paradise Prince💜💜💜 and the many greats that have left us so soon.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Same here
He was telling you something.at the end of the song. .if you knew what I'm talking about put your hand in the air. ....he was on about purple reign .. investigation people.
So true . . . I remember first hearing it 'on the radio' when it came out & it somehow felt like it was coming from somewhere inside you, not through your ears -- as though he had given form to something that was already inside us . . .

Also, the very last time he sang Purple Rain in Atlanta, Ga. , he was telling us when he changed some words and he looked toward the
☁️☁️Heavens☁️☁️ , that he knew he'd soon be leaving us.
June 2021..still crying like a baby..what a soul what a masterpiece, we miss u!!
I cannot count the number of arrangments he did of this song. This by far rocks to the very soul of being here on this earth. Love how his early Christian roots allowed him to take this one step further. God blessed us with the short time we had him here with us on Earth. God bless his beautiful soul. ❤
If prince was alive he'd be doing concerts like this in Paisley Park quarantine 💜
I would gladly be quarantined with Prince.
@@MaryMary-gb9go Me too!😍😊
Yes indeed💜
Not many regrets in this crazy life of mine, 55 this month--not seeing Prince perform live is one of them.
I didnt want to see him the last time he came to montreux... probably the biggest regret ever. He never returned
Mine too
Steven Carr was a wakeup though. Vowed to see everyone of the old guard that is possible. Even if they’re past their time, its better than everything else :)
I saw him in the late 80's. AWESOME in every way.
Yep.
Prince, Prince, Prince! 💜 Vocals, guitar, everything... Masterpiece 💜
Straight up and down genius!!! It absolutely kills me I've never and will never get to see Prince live. One of the very few artists that reduces me to tears just listening to his music!
Same
This guitar solo bring me to tears everytime. I used to listen to this song almost daily during my 2 pregnancies. Is just a feeling, prince is such a legend. So talented
Oui c’est une vrais Légende, il nous a fait rêvé, inventé des rythmes, des sons His the Best 😉🤙👋🇵🇫
If your children end up listening to Bieber, kick them out of your house.
The mood just hit me....its amazing
You rock!
He's still alive with his art
Prince and Freddie Mercury are the two greatest ever for me
It’s June 17th 2023 and I still absolutely love this song and miss this man so damn much!!! I saw The Purple Rain Tour in the 80s. It was unbelievable! Prince was a badass rockstar and a musical genius! There will NEVER be another Prince!
Never ever be another !!!!!
My mother raised me on this music and also saw him in the 80s, told me it was the best concert she’s ever seen. And she had been to plenty. I have loved him my whole life. I’m 32. My mother was 56 when she passed last week. Suddenly.
His music is alive through her, and through me. There will NEVER be another prince. Ever.
💜
@@chelseabliss9358 I’m so sorry for your loss! You were very lucky to have gone to concerts with your mom, especially Prince. She seemed to have been an amazing women, and raised you right!
@@pammcmonigle6061 thank you so much 🙏💜 purple rain always & forever
Love prince music 🎵💕
Still get chills when I listen to this timeless piece live. 💜💜💜💜
Prince was definition of a True Artist- not only could he sing!but play many intsruments, & was so talented at dancing\performing. What a Beautiful one.... You are missed 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I can't believe he's gone.
@@paulahernandez213 He's not gone, just moved on to a better place. 😉✝️ We WILL see him again.
Till we met again Beautiful One. 💜💜🕊
This song/video never gets old!
He’s a beautiful man.
Never realized how great of an artist he was until I was much older.
RIP PRINCE. Much respect to praising Jesus. When most people denounce him publicly...
NO ONE has EVER been able to compare with the amazng guitar skills and vocals, pure raw talent
He was definitely here to be a musician, top 5 artist all time for me.
There’s definitely better guitarists. Prince was kick ass but his guitar tone left much to be desired and he certainly not the best guitarist on the planet or anything.
@@garrettwarman are you in a position to criticise PRINCE? no hate, just curiosity
@@alexandrinaa6922 They might have ment Clapton, Hendrix ect.
@@alexandrinaa6922 He was great, especially for a singer, but there are many who were better. He did everything so well that it's easy to say he was the best this or the best singer. He wasn't the best at anything. It's less of a knock against him and more of a fact. He was the best Prince though. Many try to be like him, but no one can be the next. He was one of a kind.
I glad you knew Jesus and you didn’t keep it a secret. Prince in now with the King. RIP🙏🏽
Nobody beats Prince, no matter the song.
I was at this concert! Filmed on the 18th of December,if I remember correctly.Was one of about 50-100 fans who was able to buy a ticket(made of a gold metal that was painted purple and engraved).Still have the ticket framed along with 2 of Prince’s guitar 🎸 picks from the show.Best concert I’ve ever attended and was in the 2nd row on the left side.Was wearing an Orange pullover with a black hat. Can see myself a few times when they pan out at times on the whole dvd.
did he just occasional have these concerts at Paisley?
LavenderOcean MaryAnn yes,he would just have these late night “dance parties”. Sometimes it would end up being a live gig. Other times it was just as stated,a dance party to a DJ.
Wow, that's fabulous, how lucky are you!!! Memories to last a lifetime i bet 💜
SO JELLY! What a wonderful thing to have experienced and memory to have... ENJOY! ✌🏽
I’ve seen those tickets pop up on eBay once in a while from the dec 18th show, how did you acquire one, was it a radio call in, stand in line?
Who is here November 2020? Rest in Peace King 👑
Gone but never forgotten 💯
Just left Paisley Park last week. My husband sent me for an early birthday gift. That was the most tortured tour i had been on. Just to know you walked where Prince walked, saw all the memorabilia he was noted for, saw his costumes, went to the concert hall, sat in the club, saw the doves, saw his cars, motorcycles from Purple Rain. If you are a true fan that tour took you to another place. I've been with Prince since Soft and Wet and that's a mighty long time. Rest in Power. You are dearly missed.😢
Me
@@DC50Gal Much respect to your husband what a wonderful gift.. I never made it to paisley park but paisley park is in my heart. I am happy u had the experience. He left so much here for us in so many ways . check out this book. Prince a private view by Afshin Shahidi his personal photographer for 20 years. Promise u will 💘 it. Or I Buy from u money back guarantee.
Tomorrow is my birthday..
🙌🌮
If you truthfully love music, Prince knew it, I was lucky to have him in a musical moment, he was a gem of humanity and what humans are supposed to be, happy
Dieser Mann war ein Kosmonaut! Ein absoluter Ausnahme Musiker. Schon in den 90 ern wusste er was abging. RIP my Friend and thanks for your great Music!!!!!!!
Lyrically and instrumentally, one of the coldest Brothers to grace us in our Era with his talent. Will be missed and never forgotten.
Divine!
Hi Barbara
One word..... "Anointed"....This Spiritual version of Purple Rain is something I have never heard or witnessed by Prince. He was truly touched by God. The most beautiful rendition of Purple Rain Ever...💜🙌🙏
Amen
I most definitely agree with you. This is the best rendition I've ever heard of him singing this song 💜💜💜.
@@1FlyGemini Truly Is...
@@brendacolbert4823 And AMEN.....!
Looks like we made it into Tamara's Lynn arms
One of the best songs ever written. I was visiting cousins and cooking for them blasting the mom of the house cds on my own 20 yrs ago. Kept hitting repeat on the studio version of Purple Rain. 16 yr old cousin came into the kitchen, knew the song and said it was one of her favorite songs.
Prince is the only secular music artist that l have ever heard give Jesus Christ the GLORY! 🙏 R.I.P
If that guitar solo doesn't make you cry then you have no soul .
oh ya, you said it. I had to come here again this is one of my fav versions of it. Heart and soul he's feeling it...rough times for him and man can ya feel it. ☔️
Not cry, but maybe your emotions come out of ya when you listen to it..
It sent chills down my spine when I heard it for the 1st time back in the eighties. I'm 46 years old now and yes sometimes it brings a tear not from sadness but from the raw emotion coming out of his soul and he handles that guitar like the" goat"! Eric Clapton was asked in a interview one time how it felt to be the best guitar player in the world. His reply was " I'm not sure you would have to go ask prince to see what it feels like". Mad respect to Eric for giving prince the respect he deserved. I always thought he was the "goat" so many people overlooked his skills on a guitar. If he was not the "goat" there we not too many that could make a guitar sing like that!
Every time and every version. Even "before". Miss this lil dude. I've heard as many versions as I can and he never ever repeats himself. Do you know how hard this is to do as a musician? You have a habit of falling into habits even when improvising. But never him. Never Prince.
7:59 rips the soul. We all miss him.
I'm a new Prince fan. i just discovered his music. the first time I saw the Brits award Purple Rain performance I cried out of nowhere. His music changed me and touched my soul. He is a true genius and the emotions in his music transcends time and dimensions these were not just mere melodies but very otherworldly spiritual as well. He is a very highly spiritual person and an amazingly genius musician. He is a very old soul indeed. Prince's music changed me forever. RIP legend.
That’s beautiful. Welcome 2 The Dawn, friend.
I generally don't comment. But I want to say me too. I recently discovered him and I'm on a prince marathon ever since. If u haven't seen his super bowl half-time performance (2007) on purple rain then you should drop everything in hand and just watch that performance. It was magical. I wish I knew about him earlier but better late than never. He truly was THE greatest. 💜
Love that younger people have found our P, enjoy your musical journey! Hold the not your souls y’all theres a long way to go! 💜
@@music_for_soul_ Welcome to the ride. There's seriously so much it's never ending.
Same here, did not know he was a gppd song writer and singer. I was only only on his guitar solos at first but man, his music is really soulful what an artist he was.
1:13 We will never in our lifetime ever experience the musical genius of Prince. I always feared for his life because he seemed to belong somewhere better. My father beat me and I was the same age so Purple Rain came along it struck a major nerve. At the end of the movie I just stared at the screen for a long time. And then I got the point: In time, everything will be alright. I am forever grateful
Pure genius! We miss you Prince. 😢
I miss you 😢
Me, too. Nobody like him
Amazing artist. The new Jimi hendrix of the modern Era. 💜😎🔥🎸 you fly into the stratosphere 😱🔝 performance brilliant. Best of all time ever 🎸🎸🎸🎸💜💜💜💜
R. I. P. KING PRINCE 🙏 miss you so much Master 😢
I have been a fan seen him in Scotland Diamond's and pearls great
Me too, so much!.. The Kid of Minneapolis has been with my life since my childhood, an Artist like no one does anymore, FOREVER The Prince
I miss Prince too, he was one of the greatest ones to ever make beautiful music 🎶😇🌹
This is the most beautiful version of Purple Rain I have ever heard! This will be playing when my ashes are scattered. I have told my family if they can’t stand there and listen go home.
It will play at my homegoing. I may even have lighters provided to hold up like we did at his shows in the 80s!!!
He wrote purple rain for him coming out of the closet
I agree it's such a mesmerizing version of Purple Rain ☔
Perfect!!!
Oh my god
Never gets old - RIP Prince
April 2024 still rocking. Shared this song to the luv of my life
This performance was on the day I was born, almost 21 years later I'm watching it for the first time. Damn!
You missed a lot bro.. In fact.. I think it's aready over. Either start something new, or you may as well give up now. Just don't involve that f**k Cowell.
Legend young buck
HBD! - Cheers!
I was 15 in 99 I hate I never got to Prince in Concert
@@davidbaines1425 Better reason yet to try and make beautiful music and art ourselves. Hope hasn't died yet, and love never will.
To say he plays with passion would be a huge understatement.
